Today's Tech Tip - Sanding I'm refinishing a S&S A w/ "Ice Cream Cone" legs. The massive amount of detail has prompted me to come up with an easier way to sand. I used to fold up sand paper into small bundles to get into tight corners but now have a better way. PSA sand paper (self-stick) pressed around a sample credit card. (I was getting so many card offers with the sample card that I kept the cards for putty but found they work well for piling a bunch together for gluing felt or leather onto curved surfaces). It dawned on me to try the PSA paper...Bingo ! No more wasted paper. I can cut the card to a shape for any contour. Even on the end of a slat for real tight flat areas. Once the grit has been used or clogged at the end, trim it back and you're good for another flurry of sanding. Sanding edges of scroll work effortlessly, relatively :-) These little, two-sided, flexible, sanding paddles make for shorter work of detail sanding. These legs are going to look 'chiseled'. I'm a stickler for crisp, clean inside corners. Can't wait until they need sanding again... -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
